Rescission of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)

After the September 5th, 2017 memorandum to rescind the DACA program, Interim President David Ellis sent a message to our community in support of Dreamers at Lewis & Clark and beyond. His message, in short, is “that every member of the Lewis & Clark Community is welcome here, and we will do everything within our power to make Lewis & Clark a safe place for all.” (Sept. 8th, 2017). Read the full message here.
